About Me

Tierra Verde Handmade Soap

I’m a wife, mom, and a self proclaimed soap nerd with an entrepreneurial spirit-living in Lubbock Texas, (a place best known for our expansive horizon, cotton,and as the birth place of Buddy Holly.)I guess you might say I’ve got a serious addiction to all things soap related. Come hang out, as I share my adventures in a world where chemistry meets art.

“Homemade soap feels good: soft, rich, enveloping, soothing. The lather is dense and penetrating rather than thin and airy. It leaves an emollient film on your skin that makes it feel soft and sensuous. Homemade soap is comforting in ways which manufactured soap can never be: its look, its weight, its bulk, how it feels in your hands, looks in its dish. There is something ineffable about homemade soap. It’s not homogenized, pasteurized, deodorized, sanitized or synthesized - it’s one of a kind, every bar different, each unique. It is idiosyncratic in the way of all homemade and handmade things.”

Besides taking lots of photos- throwing together a few very nice special order gift baskets and putting together a private label order here and there. A nice blend of soap type work and play-just right. Today, I will be cranking out a few batches of soap in an effort to stock back up.

Hey my soapy friends-so good to hear from you.I've missed you so much.

@ Anne-Marie Thank you!They were a fun little thing to do. I like to put stuff like that together.

@ Jen-to tell you the truth.I've been sticking to rounds but am about to delve into the larger mold once again to see what happens.I'm a bit nervous-it's time to re-stock. I'm realizing that performance is the most important factor-a few odd spots are not a big deal in the scheme of things. Things just happen with "handmade." Perhaps I was a bit too hard on myself in expecting each and every bar to be perfect to begin with-it's the way I roll and sometimes it's so hard to be that way-but I'm a work in progress.;-)
